If his students were doing code archaeology or deep embedded, such areas require enough base skills that getting spooked by 32 vs 64 bits would be beyond them.
Everyone starts somewhere, even code archaeologists. At my former School a Lecturer taught Operating Systems by getting the students to write kernel modules for MINIX on a VM (networking iirc). I'm sure the majority of those students would get horribly tied up in 32 vs 64 issues like this if they experienced them; despite that, they broadly succeeded in writing the kernel modules and passing the course. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
